The present specimens agree with description given by Holthuis (1941), but a few apparent differences. In Holthuis’ specimen, the tip of the rostrum does not reach the dorsal process of the ophthalmic segment, whereas, in our specimens, it extends slightly beyond the tip of the dorsal process. However, this difference is considered a preservational artefact. The present specimens have 10 teeth on the dactylus of the raptorial claw, which is within the reported range of 9–13 (Holthuis 1941; Manning 1978a; Ahyong 2001; Ahyong et al. 2008). Lysiosquilla tredecimdentata closely resembles L. sulcirostris but can be distinguished by its cordiform (heart-shaped) rostral plate, whereas L. sulcirostris has a triangular rostral plate and fewer teeth on the dactylus of the raptorial claw (7 or 8 versus 9–13). Recently, Babu et al. (2024) recorded Lysiosquilla maculata (Fabricius, 1793) from India; it is based on a misidentification of L. tredecimdentata .</p><p>Distribution.

The specimen agrees with the descriptions provided by Kemp &amp; Chopra (1921) and Ahyong (2016). Carinosquilla lirata closely resembles C. multicarinata, but several distinguishing features separate the two species.

Additionally, the mandibular palp is present in C. multicarinata but absent in C. lirata . The shape of the prelateral lobe of the telson also differs, being sharp in C. multicarinata and blunt in C. lirata . Furthermore, the dactylus of the raptorial claw in C. lirata bears six teeth, whereas C. multicarinata has only five.</p><p>Distribution.

The present specimens agree with earlier published accounts of Chhapgar &amp; Sane (1967) and the spinulation pattern of the carinae on the abdominal somites is similar to that reported by Ahyong (2001). Clorida bombayensis shares several characteristics with C. latreillei but the posterolateral angles of the sixth and seventh thoracic somites in the former are sharply pointed, contrasting with more rounded or less acutely pointed posterolateral angles in C. latreillei .. The ventral surface of the telson is smooth in both species. However, Clorida bombayensis can also be distinguished from C. latreillei the rostral plate being more elongated and gradually tapering, whereas in C. latreillei, it is shorter and broader (Ahyong 2001). Additionally, the raptorial claw dactylus of C. bombayensis is slender and curved, whereas in C. latreillei, the raptorial dactylus is more robust with different curvature (Ahyong et al. 2008). A further, distinguishing feature is the fifth thoracic somite, where the lateral processes in C. bombayensis are forwardly curved, while in C. latreillei, these spines are more laterally directed and more slender (Ahyong 2001).</p><p>Distribution.

The present specimen agrees with the description provided by Ahyong (2001), differing in the relative length of the antennular peduncle. In Ahyong’s material, the antennular peduncle was as long as the combined length of the carapace and rostral plate. In our specimen, the combined length of the carapace and rostral plate is 21 mm. Additionally, H. annandalei closely resembles H. sinensis Liu &amp; Wang, 1999 but differs from other species of Harpiosquilla in several features. These include the presence of armed submedian carinae on fifth abdominal segment and the distinctive colour pattern on the distal segment of the uropodal exopod, which is black with a white or yellow median stripe, in contrast to the black inner half and yellowish outer half observed in other species. Moreover, the margins of the large ‘eyespot’ on the telson are sharply defined in H. annandalei, whereas they appear somewhat diffuse in H. sinensis .</p><p>Distribution.

Harpiosquilla harpax is the most widely distributed species of the genus and is abundantly caught in trawl catches along the northeastern coast of India. The morphological variations observed in the present series of H. harpax fall within the reported range (Ahyong et al. 2008). The abdominal carinae are spined as follows: submedian 6, intermediate 2–6, lateral, 1–6, marginal 1–5. Ahyong (2001) revised the species, and the present specimens align well with the diagnostic features described in that study. According to their report, the rostral plate margins are usually sinuous, with a slender apical projection, and the lateral carina is typically less than half the length of marginal carina. However, in the present material, some variations are evident. The outer margin of the dactylus of the raptorial claw exhibits a distinct angular projection, a feature of males.</p><p>Distribution.

Our specimen closely aligns with the description provided by Manning (1978c). While this species closely resembles Oratosquillina nordica Ahyong &amp; Chan, 2008, it is clearly distinguishable by the structure of the anterior lobe on the lateral process of the sixth thoracic somite. In O. quinquedentata, the anterior lobe is approximately equal in length and width, with its width being about half that of the posterior lobe. It has a broad, trapezoidal shape, unlike the anterior lobe of O. nordica, which is more slender, finger-like, and nearly twice as long as its width (Ahyong &amp; Chan 2008).</p><p>Distribution.

Oratosquillina perpensa is similar to O. inornata in most features but readily differentiated by the length and shape of the rostral plate. In O. perpensa, the rostral plate is relatively short and squarish, whereas, in O. inornata, it has a rectangular elongated form. Furthermore, a significant difference lies in the degree of surface pitting: it is finely and evenly distributed in O. inornata, while it is coarse in O. perpensa . Additionally, the shape of the anterior lobe of the lateral process of thoracic somite 6 differs: quadrate in O. inornata and triangular in O. perpensa (Ahyong 2001) .</p><p>Distribution.
